Bush's margin of victory on Nov. 2 was 136,483 votes. He received 2,796,147 votes to Kerry's 2,659,664. Kerry conceded after figuring that he would not get enough of the provisional ballot vote to overtake Bush's total.

The state previously reported there were 155,337 provisional ballots statewide. Provisionals are votes cast when poll workers could not immediately confirm if a voter was properly registered.

Although the counting is over, the
